[TheLedward]

guslongo, its probably a pint of special brew

[supersoulmusiq]

BADASS !!!

[BlackSabbathBlog]

take a drink from my magic potion....

[76Superbeast]

Does anyone know who the woman at 1:57 is? Any response is appreciated as I am madly in love with her.

[rebtanner1]

@76Superbeast Looks like it might be Claudine Auger, who played Domino in Thunderball. Not 100% sure though.

[DrLearyUSA]

incredible find! Cheers, peace out :)

[guslongo]

i wonder what the potion is?

[babylonfell]

Amazing footage and editing to this beast of a song♦

[TheLedward]

great TheLedward

[agentike2]

nice montage!

[mielazul]

First heard this on the Mojo Magazine compilation and was really blown away.

This is just so fucking cool. Like the video too.

Fans of raw heavy psych music might like this later-era beauty from 1996: "Rosetta West - Low." More tribal, not as "rock" as this...but good.

[MegaMrfuckyou]

dropping acid :)

[Maxsgcrew]

how do you feel after listening this monster track?

[gfrkiss]

FUCKING OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!  Whatta SONG!

[john111257]

DAMN GOOD

[BlackSabbathBlog]

Great guitars, 100 % spychedelic, and of course 1969 is simply the best year! Yeah listen it again & again!!

[MultiGreenSmoker]

Fantastic vid

[caneycreekfreak]

I took the potion , and I feel fine!

[planetlady069]

Buy a ticket pay the price for it. Place a fire keep it burning waves emotions I feel fine. My verse that I added into the song. HAHAHA anyone get that?

[senorleloup]

Great track, sounds like an English version of The 13th Floor Elevators, without the jug!

[chukklebunny]

GreenHead Man. Green Head Man Greenheadman.

[KingCrimson776]

Man, 60's footage is depressing as hell. Great music though.

[d13flat5]

Great job on the video. Yes, a cool song.

[mjk72569]

Awesome track, great visuals too.

[StonerMoaner420]

Outasite man, outasite!

[p3terpsych]

BESTIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tymime]

Geez, that fadeout- it sounds like the drummer has two freakin' bass pedals, but I know nobody was doing that then.

[tymime]

@progjazzfusion Wow, I had no idea. It's just that I don't think I've heard it quite so rapid in a '60s recording... I don't have to be so terribly concerned with purism in my own music then!

[tymime]

@progjazzfusion I think I can tell the difference between a bass drum and a hi-hat, thank you. >_> Yes, I hear the hi-hat, but what do you think is going on in between?

[progjazzfusion]

@tymime - I meant you can hear the hihat also opening and closing with his left foot during the doublebass parts, making it imposs for him to play 2 bass pedals at same time. So i think I have this figured out. there are several places in the song with the double bass part, not just at the end, and everytime it''s louder and of a different sound than the regular main single bass drum sound he plays thru the song, so the doublebass parts are clearly overdubbed.

[shaftsbury94]

@progjazzfusion wasnt some jazz drummers useing 2 bass drums in the 60s, i wonder who did it first though, it came to dominate in metal bands especially thrash.

[progjazzfusion]

@shaftsbury94 - yes jazz guys were doing double bass solos since the 40s. There's even several vids on youtube of them from the 50s doing it live. But in rock they were first used by ginger baker of cream in 1966, also keith moon too that same year but he never used them like ginger did. After that, several other late 60s groups used them. But in this example it is clearly an overdub second bass, as you cant do the opening hi-hat accents with your foot while also playing double bass with them.

[progjazzfusion]

[4PEACEundLeibe]

This video is awesome!

Its has everything of the 60's! :D Some of the cartoons remind me of Yellow Submarine!

[TheMauvetys]

Excellent!

[smart21cart]

It's funny to see Soviet cartoon clips in here: Alice in Wonderland and Just you wait! (dogs singing)

[dsbell227]

Coolest video ever

[mobile513]

I'd love to see whoever made this do one for The Silver Apples. Is this an actual promo video, or did someone skilfully edit this from a bunch of public domain 60s college kid movies? Either way it looks mega awesome!

[mynameisnotalfredo]

Two insane guitarists playing insanely....

[HumbertoGillanLennon]

The riff sounds very like Black Sabbath

[woodstockgeneration]

This is a great track! I've played it over and over most of the day.

[devv32wtf49]

I was sober before listening to this and now after i feel a bit stoned :)

[debranov]

great video

[zubrycky]

One of the best songs ever. It really changed my life. Hearing it was a sonic revelation.

[zubrycky]

I love the irony of this song... When the singer says "I feel fine" the music goes to a heavier direction and when he says "Help prop my soul I feel fine!" the music just goes darker, gloomier and heavier.

[pmanis09]

Someone put a lot of work into this video. I recognized several of the clips and they all originated from different sources. Nicely done. Killer tune too!

[nirvana7606]

im high and like o.0

professor balthasar

[kevsar777]

Brilliant Track from a great album. One of the forgotten treasures I think way ahead of its time.

[haveyouseenmypuppy]

@kevsar777 it is a great song but its from 69 not really ahead of its time donovon was doing phsych stuff at the time

[nadasafari]

and the first song ever with a double bass drum!

[KIDAmnesiacBends]

and this song is why the 60s were the greatest

[mahatmacote]

I had the LP and sold it on - sludgy drudgery of bad prog.

This single, however, is one I'm KEEPING - it's brilliant, and with a great b-side as well.

[hardcorepunkable]

[pasckauer]

Menuda currada de vídeos!! Excelente gusto!!

[mikal9000]

One of the best tracks on NUGGETS II. Reminds me at once of Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly and the Stooges (it's 1969, okay!). And thanks for the period visuals to go with the song!

[NewPaltzIndie]

@mikal9000 also on the Rubble Collection Volume 1. if you liked Nuggets II it's worth the high price tag

[Miapink12]

I must have had a drink from the magic POTION, cause I'm feeling FinE..Your Vidz Are Freaking Awesome!
